Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 69: Albert Meeting Julia

Justin returned to his suite, fuming internally. ’She still loves that bastard Ivan? Her brain works fine in every other situation, but when it comes to him, it’s like she’s an idiot. What does she even see in that loser?’

Noah, standing by as always, noticed the shift in Justin’s demeanour. Ever since Natalie had entered Justin’s life, Noah had seen changes in his boss that he’d never witnessed before. ’Having a sister really seems to be affecting him.’

Justin sat at his desk, looking every bit the polished CEO in his expensive suit, but his mind was still elsewhere.

Just then, Julia arrived. "Where were you this morning?" she asked, her expressions disappointment. "I wanted to have breakfast with you, but you weren’t here."

he replied coldly, as he thought, ’Hurrying to take care of your cherished granddaughter, is certainly an important matter, Julia, when that granddaughter of yours is an idiot who fell for another idiot.’

Julia pouted dramatically. "I see. You don’t care about me anymore, huh? Didn’t even bother having breakfast with this old woman. Never mind, if you don’t care, there are others who do. I’m leaving."

Justin, realizing he had been too curt with her, softened slightly. "Where are you going, Julia?"

"To my brother," she huffed, turning on her heel. "You and your bratty father are just the same. I don’t need either of you."

"Julia—"

"Don’t call me. I won’t listen. I miss my brother anyway," she said before walking out.

Sighing in frustration, Justin turned to Noah. "Make sure someone is with Julia and that she’s taken care of."

Noah nodded, as always, and left to carry out the order.

Just as Noah exited, Justin’s phone rang. Seeing it was his father, James, he picked up quickly. "Yes, Father?"

"Your grandmother left the house and isn’t answering my calls," James’s deep, dignified voice came through, though Justin could hear the underlying worry masked beneath his usual calm.

"She’s with me, don’t worry."

Justin heard James letting out a sigh of relief. Though James was not the kind to show his affection openly, Justin knew how important Julia was to him.

"Take care of her and keep an eye on her," James instructed firmly. "You know how wilful she can be, even at her age."

Justin nodded. "I will."
